Re ; Proposed MP-L and MP-H Zones
Dear Gary;
We have received, a couple of days ago , your latest draft of
the proposed amendment to our Zoning Ordinance relating to
the above matter. Our comments and suggestions regarding this
matter would be as follows ;
a. Some determination should be made whether it would not
be more appropriate to amend the existing code sections relating
to light and heavy industry, namely 4-712. and 4-713 , instead of
creating new sections therefor. If you prefer the latter, then
section 1 in each instance should be reworded to read as follows :
"There is hereby created and established a new section,
•( to be known as Section 4-732 (Light Manufacturing Park District)
►j of Title IV (Building Regulations) of Ordinance No . 1628 entitled
' \ "Code of General Ordinances of the City of Renton" to read as
rr�� follows ; "
b . There may be some questions about the wording of Sub-
paragraph b in 4-732 .2 in which you state that "the applicant
shall have the burden of proof that the above uses would be
beneficial primarily to the manufacturing park or secondarily
to the City" . How about a benefit to the general public?
Furthermore, since all uses now permitted in L-1 zone would be
authorized , why would the applicant have the additional burden
of proof that the above uses would be beneficial ---? From a
strictly legal standpoint , it seems to me that once the use is
a permitted one under our present Zoning Ordinances and the
applicant complies with all lawful rules and regulations of
such ordinance , then he is entitled , as a matter of right , to a
building permit . It seems that the "burden of proof" requirement
should be unnecessary.
c. Re: Subparagraph C (4-732 .4) : You may want to add in that
subparagraph that a greater set back may be required if same is
required by any other governmental entity having jurisdiction there-
over. For instance the flood control people, may sometime in the
future, insist on a greater set back in which case the applicant
should comply therewith instead of the set backs required by this
ordinance.
d. Subsection B (4-732 .7) Landscaping : As expressed on
various occasions before , we have some concern about the requirement
of planting certain designated shrubs or trees without any discretion
on the part of the owner to beautify the area. You indicate that the
planting screen shall consist of evergreen shrubs or trees ! Conceivably
there may be other screening materials as or more attractive than those
designated and it would be somewhat confining if a municipality insists
that only those designated screening materials could be used.
e. Subsection D (4-732 .7) Bonds : As we had suggested previously,
before this type of bond is required, some inquiries should be made of
bonding companies to determine whether this eact type of security is
issued and the cost thereof to the applicant. The bonding companies
undoubtedly want to have established some standards as to maintenance
so that they are aware of the obligations assumed . Again, suppose
that the applicant provides the City with a written contract between
a maintenance service company and the owner and if so , should not
this be sufficient to protect the City?
We had previously given you, on several occasions , our
comments about the question of sprinkling systems and therefore will
not repeat our comments .
f. Subsection 4--732 .10 (Site Approval) : We are just wondering
whether, to accomodate the public more readily and to avoid delays ,
an initial review of site plans could not be handled by the Planning
Department instead of submitting it to the Planning Commission.
Again, our primary concern should be to assure the reasonable inter-
pretation and enforcement of our laws and service to members of the
public. Therefore should not the Planning Department staff be in a
position to advise the applicant that a preliminary inspection of
—his plans meetswith requirements of the ordinance? You realize , of
course, that it is the applicant's primary responsibility to see to
.- it that hi.s proposed improvements do not run afoul of the City 's
laws . A speedy determination should be made to benefit the public.
The above comments would, of course , also apply to your proposed
amendment regarding the "Heavy Manufacturing Park District".
If we can of any further assistance to you in this matter, please
advise .
We remain
Ver truly yours ,
Goa d M. Shel an
Ct Attorney
GMS ;bjm
P . S . Gary: In the future would it be possible for your department
to send your proposals to our office sometime before the
matter is reported out of Committee to the full City Council .
For instance we received your memorandum just two days ago
and you advise that on the following day, namely September 10
this matter would be reported out. Since your department has
been working on this for many, many months , we certainly would
appreciate, in the future, some longer period of studying this
matter and issuing our comments .
Thank you very much.

Re: Planning Commission Recommendation -
Zoning Ordinance Amendments :
MP-L, Light Manufacturing Park District
MP-H, Heavy Manufacturing Park District
1
Gentlemen:
Thel Planning Commission and Planning Department, in the continuing
effort to review and update the City of Renton' s Zoning Ordinance,
has been studying the existing manufacturing park, light industrial
and heavy industrial zones.
It ;is felt that an update of said zones is necessary in order that
the industrial park concept may be extended to heavy industrial
type uses.
